About this title

Synopsis

Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, some pages are missing and may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.The 1871 census was a comprehensive endeavor that captured vital data across several key areas. It provided a detailed account of the population, including total counts for each province's districts and a record of any territorial changes. Comparisons with population densities in other regions were made, offering context. Demographic data encompassed religion and gender, while categorization into agricultural and non-agricultural groups revealed economic structures. Information on age, mental health (including the number of individuals considered "insane"), education, caste systems, and occupations offered insights into society. Urban-rural divides, progress trends, and educational details at different administrative levels were documented. The census even delved into specifics such as the occupation of adult males in larger towns and the demographics of Europeans and Eurasians. A.W.C. Lindsay served as a British Raj administrative officer, tasked with overseeing the census office in Mysore and Coorg. He submitted reports to the Chief Commissioner of Coorg, and the province's calculations relied on the Coorg survey work conducted by Lieutenant Connors and the Gazetteer of the Province, which was compiled in 1870 by E. Richter. Lindsay's role was crucial in gathering vital data and information for the administration of these regions during the British colonial era.
